Firearms training at BSR was implemented in 1985, complementing the counter-terrorist driver training taught by the company since 1976. Initial development of the program was done by Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel from both the Army and Navy. Firearms ranges, drive and shoot areas, stress / obstacle courses, and CQB facilities that support mechanical and explosive breaching were developed. The facilities, instructors, and curriculum supported a complete range of basic, advanced, specialized shooting and tactical training emerging as a requirement at that time.
